Compressors, Gas Turbines and Jet Engines The clearance volume of the air compressor is kept minimum because It permits isothermal compression It allows maximum compression to be achieved It results in minimum work It greatly affects volumetric efficiency It permits isothermal compression It allows maximum compression to be achieved It results in minimum work It greatly affects volumetric efficiency ANSWER DOWNLOAD EXAMIANS APP
Compressors, Gas Turbines and Jet Engines The efficiency of the vane blower is (where W₁ = Workdone due to compression, and W₂ = Workdone due to back flow) W₂/(W₁ + W₂) (W₁ + W₂)/W₂ W₁/(W₁ + W₂) (W₁ + W₂)/W₁ W₂/(W₁ + W₂) (W₁ + W₂)/W₂ W₁/(W₁ + W₂) (W₁ + W₂)/W₁ ANSWER DOWNLOAD EXAMIANS APP
Compressors, Gas Turbines and Jet Engines For a two stage reciprocating compressor, compression from p₁ to p₃ is with perfect intercooling and no pressure losses. If compression in both the cylinders follows the same polytropic process and the atmospheric pressure is pa, then the intermediate pressure p₂ is given by p₂ = Pa p₃/p₁ p₂ = (p₁ + p₃)/2 p₂ = p₁. p₃ P₂ = Pa × p₃/p₁ p₂ = Pa p₃/p₁ p₂ = (p₁ + p₃)/2 p₂ = p₁. p₃ P₂ = Pa × p₃/p₁ ANSWER DOWNLOAD EXAMIANS APP
